Called it.

That is one slightly strange young plant. Makes one wonder if she could in essence clone herself as some plants do. Also would be curious to know if the little fox had ever heard a song called "turtle creek"

Scarlet has a valid point. She might not be able to depend on Pickle to behave safely and sensibly on this quest.

And, I guess I'm a bit surprised that a young para like Castella, who has already seen so much strange and paranormal stuff in her life, would go so gaga about the idea of investigating the paranormal.

I think Castella craves the intellectual stimulation, and point made re: her maybe not being reliable to trend towards Caution. She's very hardy, in terms of surviving damage (& in terms of dishing it out too...).

This is stuff that's paranormal even to the paranormals, given what the kids have said about it and Tina's reaction to questions on ghosts.

Things are still all in the air at the moment, though, so it's hard to tell where this will head.

Lawdamercy, she did it!!

Up in the air, apparently.

So is this actually happening, as in, her ability to detach bits is canon? Or is this more of a visual version of a figure of speech?

Given that this is the second time she has been shown this way in the strip, it seems to be Canon.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about that...

All moms at some point tell their kids "you'd lose your head if it wasn't attached to your neck." Katherine is the only mom in history to mean it literally!

You guys missed that her head is attached like a Barbie doll's and came of with a "Pop!" in her human form, where her neck unravels when her head comes off in her whatsit form.

I thought that was both obvious and expected. Do you know any kids her age who don't like pop?

Oh, no, I saw that. That's what made me wonder if it was canon or just a visual metaphor (is that the right phrase? Please, I need an English major to help an engineer out here, this is bugging me).

"Visual metaphor" seems fine to me. To quote the page at Study.com, "A visual metaphor is an image that the viewer is meant to understand as a symbol for something else" and I think that's what you were intending to convey.

If there had been a louder BANG! associated with it, I'd have interpreted it as a metaphor. With a gentle "pop!" I think we could consider it to be canon fodder.

I was dual major ME/English, by accident. I ended up as a technical writer translating engineering jargon to English Also did porn until I discovered there are only 2 stories in heterosexual porn: Boy started it, and the highly fantastical Girl started it. What did you want help with

If we interpret this scene as non canon and to be more for comedic effect and to better convey the exceitement Castela is feeling, what do I call it? Visual metaphor?

Yes a visual metaphore would be an accurate term.

Ok, thank you. That's been bugging me.
